About this property
This attractive self-catering cottage is tucked away in an exclusive development in the sleepy, coastal village of Crantock. Boasting an ideal position just a short walk away from the coast, The Sand Dunes provides a fabulous base from which a family or group of four can enjoy the very best that Cornwall has to offer. Feel the warm and welcoming ambiance of this homely abode as you step through the front door and are presented with an inviting living/dining room, the perfect space to entertain your friends and family as you catch up with drinks on the sofa or gather at the pretty dining table and begin to map out adventures for the upcoming days. Show off your culinary talents in the fully-fitted kitchen, complete with an abundance of handy electrical appliances such as a cooker, hob and dishwasher, answering all of your self-catering needs. Take the staircase up to the first floor and discover a smart and sophisticated bathroom, as well as two attractive bedrooms consisting of a double and a twin. Make the most of the spacious, enclosed garden as you indulge in a delicious picnic out on the lawn, or sip on a refreshing glass of wine at the patio table as you watch the sun set on another memorable day. Spend your mornings wandering barefoot along the soft sands of Crantock Beach down to Piper's Hole and Vugga Cove, or head on over to the nearby town of Newquay where you can meet the exotic residents of Newquay Zoo and take a scenic boat ride on the beautiful boating lake. Lose yourself on an experience like no other at Pirate's Quest Newquay or learn to surf on Fistral Beach, the heart of the UK's surf scene. Admire breath-taking seascapes at Towan Headline before setting about on an awe-inspiring hike along the South West Coast Path, up to the shores of Porth and along the Trevose Head Heritage Coast. Visit Kelsey Head where you can spot The Chick Island and stop off at the Holywell Dunes, before grabbing a tasty bite to eat in one of the many charming cafés that line the village. Be blown away by the magnificent architecture of the 16th century manor house of Trerice or ride the Lappa Valley Railway through the countryside on a journey like never before! Live life to the fullest on a fantastic holiday to Cornwall at The Sand Dunes.
The picture-perfect village of Crantock can be found resting just a stone's throw away from the magnificent Cornish coast, offering a tranquil and idyllic setting for any self-catering stay. Complimented by a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as boasting a breath-taking beach, this town has all your wants and needs covered! The neighbouring town of Newquay has become a popular spot with many holiday makers and is well-worth the visit, whilst the quieter yet equally exciting Perranporth sits slightly further afield.

Helen
It is a lovely modern house, very clean, tastefully decorated and a convenient location. The beds were very comfortable, the house is well maintained, it was peaceful and an excellent base for our holiday. Crantock is a pretty village with a beautiful beach, and only a short drive to Newquay. Communication from the owner and Sykes was very good. Many thanks.
